Hierarchy level

[edit chassis redundancy]

Description

Instruct the backup router to take mastership if it detects a loss of keepalive signals from the master RE.

Default

If the failover on-loss-of-keepalives statement at the [edit chassis redundancy] hierarchy level is not included and Graceful Routing Engine Switchover (GRES) is not enabled, failover cannot occur. When the failover on-loss-of-keepalives statement is included and GRES is not configured, failover occurs after 300 seconds (five minutes). When the failover on-loss-of-keepalives statement is included and GRES is configured, the keepalive signal is automatically enabled and the failover time is set to two seconds. You cannot manually reset the keepalive time.
